1.2 Second-order systems - MIT OpenCourseWare

Second-order systems 25 if the initial fluid height is defined as h(0) = h0, then the fluid height as a function of time varies as h(t) = h0e t g/RA [m]. ( ) Second-order systems In the previous sections, all the systems had only one energy storage element, and thus could be modeled by a first- order differential equation. In the case of the mechanical systems , energy was stored in a spring or an inertia. In the case of electrical systems , energy can be stored either in a capacitance or an inductance. In the basic linear models considered here, thermal systems store energy in thermal capacitance, but there is no thermal equivalent of a second means of storing energy. That is, there is no equivalent of a thermal inertia. Fluid systems store energy via pressure in fluid capacitances, and via flow rate in fluid inertia (inductance). In the following sections, we address models with two energy storage elements.

oscillate if the damping b were zero. The damping ratio ζ is the ratio of the actual damping b to the critical damping bc = 2 √ km. You should see that the critical damping value is the value for which the poles are coincident. In terms of these parameters, the differential equation (1.33) takes the form 1 d 2x 2ζ dx + + x = 0.
